A neater setup is banjo fittings connected by clear tubing. That also cleans up plumbing of the mechanical pump and installation of a fuel pressure gauge which is very handy for diagnosis of fuel issues. The picture is my '41 with 3 97's. A pair of 94's could be done the same way.


He's looking for period correct, and not modern versions of period correct. I think the red fuel hose looks good, and is more period correct. Some people put the red hose over polished copper or steel hard lines.
